Dear Members of the Leeds Minor Hockey Association,

The time has come for the Leeds Minor Hockey Association Annual General Meeting (AGM), much later than normal due to COVID restrictions.  As we had previously communicated, this year’s AGM will be held on Monday, October 19th at 7:00 pm.  This year will look a lot different than any other year as the AGM will be held virtually over Microsoft Teams.  If you would like to attend the meeting virtually, please RSVP to Melanie Redmond at Melanie.redmond@kingstonhsc.ca) no later than Monday, October 19th at 7:00 am.  You will then be provided with the link to attend the meeting on Monday.

There is an included copy of the current constitution, along with one proposed amendment to the constitution for approval at this year’s AGM.

Constitution

The AGM is where the election of the upcoming (or in this case current) season’s Executive members takes place.  We’ve heard from some of you expressing your concerns and comments regarding the process for which the current Executive has provided a season for your child to play in, and we encourage you to take this opportunity to step up and volunteer your time going forward to be able to address some of the concerns you have brought forward to us and bring your ideas to the table.

All candidates for election to the Executive office must be nominated (using the attached nomination form) and submitted to the LMHA Secretary, Melanie Redmond via email no later than Monday, October 19th at 0900hrs.  (Melanie.redmond@kingstonhsc.ca).
